Wrapping up the Year...

with all of the lovely jewelry creations that I've failed to show off from talented jewelry artists!

I have photos to share that have been hibernating on my desktop for weeks and weeks... creations by Lorelei Eurto and Kim Burkhart.

It's so rare that I get to meet people (in person) who have purchased my pendants, so it was such a treat when Kim happened to stop in to the Ruby Tuesday Bead Company while I was there for a trunk show this summer!

Kim's business name is Her Gypsy Soul (website isn't complete yet but there's an email link there if you'd like to contact her).

Then there's a parade of pieces by Lorelei Eurto...where she finds the time to create so prolifically is beyond me!

I hope you found some inspiration in these beautiful pieces!

I wish you a Happy New Year full of creativity!

A Bird (but no figs)

This is all about more beautiful things that my wonderful customers ...no, the wonderful artists who give my pendants homes are more like collaborators... have shared with me this week.

First, (actually read my whole post first THEN) go over to the Vintaj blog and vote for Erin's necklace. It's number 16 and it's the first time I've gotten to see one of my pendants wrapped with Vintaj filigree. I love the combination of the petal pink glaze with the Vintaj brass. After you vote, go tell your signficant other, children, friends, neighbors, dog walker and postal worker to vote too. Get this woman some votes!!!

Ok, on to the eye candy! Sharon of Livewire Jewelry came up with two stunning bracelet designs that she has showcased on her blog. I think the color palette is so soothing on both pieces (of course I'm partial to all things blue, green or blue-green!).Dana of Colors of the Woods has done exactly what her name would suggest, create a trio of necklaces that echo the shades you would find in an autumn forest.You can find her pretties on Etsy.Last but not least, Maire inadvertently gave me the greatest idea today...no, I'm not telling yet...but I do think it's very fun! This is definitely one of the reasons I say I have collaborators, not customers!
